REFLECTION

Experience

I gained a lot of knowledge and improved my InDesign memory. I had to follow various tutorials before I could turn my book into an interactive e-book, even though understanding InDesign is not that hard. I tried setting the display resolution to the highest setting before I figured out the solution since I discovered a lot of minor bugs and even had some issues while exporting because my original images were consistently blurry.

Observation

I got to know Indesign again. At first, I thought this software only supported the typesetting of text as a book. During this semester, I realized that I could also add animation to the e-book, even though I did not use this feature this semester.

Discovery

In order to ensure that the buttons link to the correct page and that there are no clicking issues, I felt it was crucial to carefully inspect them before exporting the file. I have to utilize these buttons extremely carefully. Combining the information from other courses to finish this one was a really fascinating experience.
